I spent many years as a stressed-out banking lawyer both in private practice and in-house. I knew I wanted my life to change but it took me years to figure out how. The transformation finally came thanks to a combination of powerful life-coaching, stress-induced illness, continuous self-reflection, financial reserves to back up a sabbatical and a period of no income. A healthy dose of bravery was also necessary. I now work remotely from different locations of my choice around the world. Apparently, the official title is ‘digital nomad’.
